Alanna Renee - Avada Kedavra Swatches

I wasn't going to post these photos, wasn't happy with them, my nails and cuticles weren't in a good condition that day and I felt that I could do better with my had poses.

But then I decided that it didn't matter, so here they are ;)

Avada Kedavra by Alanna Renee

These are 3 coats, I had trouble with getting the big glitters out as you may notice, only one or two on each nail. The pictures do not quite capture the color correctly, its a little more luminescent, little less neon.

It's gorgeous, don't you think?

L'Oreal Color Riche - Paradise Flower - Swatches

As I'm currently in between nail art challenges and saving my nail art for that I thought I would post some swatches, maybe even go and swatch my entire collection to post them on the blog so there won't be as many days where I have nothing to post.

So here we go!

L'Oreal - Paradise Flower is a limited edition shade from the Miss Pop collection.

It looked so good in the bottle, pink jelly base with gold and fuchsia glitter in different sizes, but when I put it on I wasn't that impressed.

Application was hard, it gets gloopy and a little bumpy and I had to battle with bald patches, also the glitter turns out matte on the nail and somehow drowns in the base.

The photos aren't quite color accurate, its a little more vibrant in reality.

I can't say I absolutely hate it, but I don't love it either.

Will probably use it again as an accent nail or in nail art.

So tell me what you thought of this post, do you like it or should I just stick to the nail art?

Ruby White Tips - Tanya and OMG... I... DIE... Swatches

I met this wonderful lady Laura in a Facebook group and she offered to send me a few scull shaped polishes (I had been lusting for them forever) and when she told me she had a Etsy shop called Ruby White Tips I couldn't resist buying polishes from her.

This is Tanya.

I put a thin coat of Essie - Mint Apple Candy on my tips so the nail line didn't show through.

This polish is so beautiful, with all kinds of glitter in it :)

OMG... I... DIE...

I put a one thin coat of Nabi - Burnt Umber underneath to get it more opaque, I had a little problem with getting the big glitters but with a little patience I made it happen :)

This one is definitely my favorite!!

Oh and if you go to her store

use the code CUPCAKE to get 15% off your order.

These are the awesome skulls she sent me

and will get their own blog post!

Thank you so much Laura!!
